Disturbing Proof They're Quietly Deleting the Internet | |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83975638 Click-bait. The issue is you can no longer find pages. The search engines are returning curated results. That's why we take 'screen shots'. The idea that 'it's on the web forever' didn't last long at all. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 82734976 United States 08/12/2022 07:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There's a 2003 interview of the first time we ever got to meet Michelle Obama in her Chicago kitchen and she was all kinds of pissed off looking. Not looking at the camera or talking, doing that dead-eye stone-face thing. I was surprised it was ever aired. Every time she is on the cover of a new book I want to find it. It's been gone for years. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83975638 Click-bait. The issue is you can no longer find pages. The search engines are returning curated results. It's not deleted though. You need to get more specific to see more results having to do with what you are looking for. If 42 pages of pancakes isn't enough add blueberry etc to the search. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 83936393 United Kingdom 08/12/2022 07:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Internet Memory Hole started in earnest about 2007 when Ron Paul became hugely popular as a GOP candidate. It accelerated in 2009 after the TEA Party protest and finally in 2016 with the rise of Cancel Culture and Woke politics. Internet search engines and popular web sites are no longer a reliable historic record. An incredible amount of information has been assigned the the digital bit-bucket "Memory Hole". Only people's memories, Internet archives and individual's are keeping many old controversial documents from vanishing altogether. The nature of the internet and the ease with which information can be edited and often deleted is in one respect an Orwellian dream, however the Genie is never going to be put back in the bottle. Once trust is lost, it takes a monumental effort to be re-established. Google is much like Wikipedia - totally unreliable when it comes to anything even slightly controversial. Once this is understood, trust is gone. |

Of course they filter the shit to "friendly" sites but that's not what's being called out. Are their practices ethical no....but "the internet" is not being deleted. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 82120709 United States 08/12/2022 07:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Let me point out a phenomena that has been going on for several years now: LIBRARY BOOK SALES Virtually every library all around me (I'm in highly literate Massachusetts) has been selling books for many years now. I'm wondering what the hell they have left on the shelves. It seems like they're more into selling books than loaning them. I also wonder if they are getting rid of any books that go against their Marxist philosophy/policies. KEEP YOUR HARD COVER BOOKS. BUY MORE. STORE THEM. SHARE THEM. At some point we may be like the Irish monks of the Dark Ages - keeping the spirit of civilization alive through our illuminated manuscripts. AND BE SURE YOUR CHILDREN KNOW HOW TO READ AND WRITE, ESPECIALLY CURSIVE. This again is another way they are trying to stamp out general literacy and re-introduce an ignorant peasant class. THEIR GOAL IS A RETURN TO FEUDALISM BUT WITH TECHNOLOGY....AT LEAST FOR THEM. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 84002445 Japan 08/12/2022 07:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | More: Russia Has Blocked 138K Websites Since Ukraine Invasion, Prosecutor Says Russian authorities have blocked or deleted some 138,000 websites since Moscow launched its invasion of neighboring Ukraine in February, the country’s prosecutor general said Monday. Following over 300 requests from prosecutors, Russia’s communications watchdog Roskomnadzor has censored thousands of websites in a bid to combat “fake news,” according to prosecutor general Igor Krasnov. The Kremlin has sought to strictly control the narrative of the war at home since invading Ukraine on Feb. 24. Criticizing the war or sharing non-Kremlin-approved information about it are both punishable under new laws passed shortly after the invasion. All of Russia’s independent media has either been blocked or shut down since February, with many journalists fleeing the country to escape prosecution. [link to www.themoscowtimes.com (secure)] |

You could actually obtain real information about things like viruses. I remember when CV19 "first hit" and the big "wE nEeD A VaX!!" conversations started, I searched for "Why we can't vaccinate against coronavirus (like the common cold)" and got a bunch of fucking information explaining why it's impossible. Ready for it? BECAUSE THEY FUCKING MUTATE EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY! |

User ID: 83940078 United States 08/12/2022 07:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I remember the days when one could get hundreds of non mainstream websites search results on the first 10 pages of a search engine results. Now it is mostly mainstream sites. Worthless. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79256191 I've had problems especially with natural health information. I'm glad I bookmarked a lot of sites several many years ago. Seems like no matter what search engine you use, all you get are either pharmaceutical & academic backed mainstream medical sites, or copy-paste SEO click farm BS. The real information from nutritional and naturopathic and herbalist doctors who curate articles for their clients, etc. and maintain databases of papers, essays, charts, etc., that stuff is buried, it's impossible to find really. I really noticed when search results for this topic, herbs, vitamins, nutrition, etc. started changing. |

Romans 14:11 It is written: “‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God. Revelation 20:15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. |
